Mansion Block Renovation FAQs
Do I need permission to renovate my mansion block flat?
Usually yes. Check your lease for the "alterations" clause. Most leases require written consent from the freeholder for structural changes, bathroom/kitchen relocations, and sometimes even flooring changes.
How do you minimise disruption to neighbours?
We introduce ourselves to neighbours before starting, adhere strictly to permitted hours, use dust containment, and install acoustic protection. We aim to be the best contractors the building has ever had.
